Specific RiskIn finance, a specific risk is a risk that affects a very small number of assets. This is sometimes referred to as "unsystematic risk". An example would be news that is specific to either one stock or a small number of stocks, such as a sudden strike by the employees of a company you have shares in or a new governmental regulation affecting a particular group of companies. Unlike systematic risk or market risk, specific risk can be diversified away.
